Steve Evans, Associate Broker, Century 21 “I just wanted to inform you that your system has enhanced my ability to secure Listings. When I show my clients that I have all these purchaser’s waiting to buy their property, they are quick to list their property or business with me. The fact that the Network has major players in the ICI Industry give the Network credibility. The bonus is to the public as they can also access the information. Glad to be aboard!”

A Century 21 Broker listed an office building exclusively for $1,650,000. Within 2-3 weeks of placing it on ICIWorld he received about 20 calls. He ended up selling it to a principal who had seen it on ICIWorld. Total commission was approximately $45,000. Some of these other buyers he is now working with.

He has had about six deals resulting from connections both directly and indirectly as a result of ICIWorld. He has sold a restaurant business, a triplex, he has leased half an office building over 6,500 sq. ft., for example and several more.

He says it is the easiest and most efficient method for both brokers and potential clients to find suitable investments for their clients. It certainly complements what is on his real estate board and fits together working side by side with his real estate board.

Gary I just wanted to tell you that I sold another Motel in Niagara in the last two weeks, “The Surfside Inn” 31 units, Sold for $1,050,000. Sold to a buyer who found the listing on the ICI World web site. You are providing the very best site in the world for commercial real estate. I am honored and proud to be a long established member, your helping hand has been nothing less than spectacular.

Thanks again! John Campisano.

Just renewed. Always learn something new with ICIWorld that benefits me and my clients. Almost all my deals are exclusive. Yes there is a lot of business here that the average real estate salesperson is simply not aware.

Gurcharan Singh, Broker, Homelife/Miracle Realty Ltd., Brokerage, had a buyer looking for a gas station. He saw one on ICIWorld that was placed by another member and they sold it. Gurcharan has also sold farmland and makes connections regularly to do real estate business. Here is his mobile website. The advantage of Gurcharan’s website is that the public can search three major world networks of listings not just real estate board listings but also exclusive listings not on real estate boards.

Jim Straughan, Century 21 First Canadian sold a campground. He had another property advertised, received a call and the property that he called on was not suitable.

Irene posted a medical building on ICIWorld and another member saw it and they worked together and sold it. She has other projects on the go now such as a 48 townhome project in Pickering, land in Georgina and more.

Commercial Division reports that he had resort with a golf course for sale on ICIWorld. He had it on for a month or so and had about six calls, one from a realtor in Ontario who had a buyer for a golf course. They worked a referral, and Ian sold the golf course portion and paid a referral fee to the broker on the sale of a $1,250,000 golf course. This also was great service to the public the buyer and the seller.
Ian has received many highly qualified buyers for specific types of property such as golf courses, and other recreational property, hotels, motels, and resorts.
MARKET REPORT 4/28/03: Ian reports the commercial market is very active and he has written over $5,000,000 this year already. One reason he is so active, is because Westjet is flying directly to Comox from Calgary and Edmonton, in only 1 hr. and 15 minutes. It is making a radical difference in the valley.
